  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast the carrots in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
  • To make the carrots ahead of time, cook them according to the instructions, then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to serve, reheat the carrots in the air fryer or on the stovetop.

Here are some additional tips from Foodie Mike:

  • If you want to make the carrots even more flavorful, you can add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the bowl with the carrots before air frying them.
  • If you don’t have 1 tablespoon of olive oil, you can use a combination of olive oil and vegetable oil.
  • To make the carrots even more crispy, you can shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking.
